The Sprawling Day

black to a nation whoops organization
discussions disbanding fabulously winning
campaign of the walls will convene

stage one timberwolves all center
part of the Wednesday world
these hushed words borrowed

from the theatre victory
America's joy
connected to who was black I the world around

Twilight Voters Edge

lines stretched across damp parking lots and down city blocks
rain gave way to blue voters converged on polling places
snapped a photo at first light an immortalize awakening

after a long and bitter struggle holding a decisive edge
economic crisis Iraq Afghanistan wars overhaul health care
        issues
if tighten control Congress may easier new administration deal
        crisis

in twilight of presidency at positive perception low
whether America will become more inward-looking and
        protectionist
no question anything but a vote to change focus people’s minds

Epic, Undecided Tomorrow

Lightning would not have to win the 11.2 million votes
to go buy lottery tickets. Obama made last-minute stops
to strike three times. Experts say it's time for weeks.

After almost two wars, McCain declared "The Mac
is to get out the candidates through making seven stops
in the right thing." The gravest challenges of national polls.

McCain will make another run at flipping the lead of Indiana;
Obama has the gap in several. A close fight in history - you,
tomorrow, you can give this country the country.

Plays Or Leans

it's a surprise or it's an act
or it's fate or coincidence or a buried victory
or tumbling into a deep hole or the economy of the 30s

or plunged into blasts of shivering ridicule
or popping wires from their communications points
or cougars' eyes glinting from lethargic trees

or there would be hazards or spectacles
or hazards but no spectacles or spectacles but no hazards
or there would be no obvious or meaningful incidents

The Wrong Crisis

A new committee will not help you think.
To get Icelandic jellyfish, cut a hole in Iceland.
Are you saying you can negotiate the complex paths that wind

through woods of green tension, to bed in peaceable houses?
Yes, drunk again.
Save the biological problems for the biologists.

From the grades they've assigned to life, it had to fail.
And a microscope is too big to prevent regret.
Any guiding star has to send you too far to circle back.

Branch the space form two of A from points.
Space the province broke four with A in secret.

Darkened white and smudges enclosing secede glass to with.
The abstentions the cone of.
The yesteray the messages of.

It's All Happening

sputter worse summer comes to an end
with the cooling advance of autumn
ice nose-dived out of the division

summer shrunk to the smallest size on record
two sub-standard changes stuck in my head
I could not possibly lose another warming game

taste affects the workings of the world
seeing is not necessarily believing
every time trusted scientists are wrong

-- Rupert M Loydell

Bitter taste over China baby milk
Arctic ice melt not quite a record this summer
Seeing Is Not Necessarily Believing

"I don't believe what I just saw."

I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly sputter worse
I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly putter worse
I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly sputter curse

I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly sputter worse
I thought there was no way the Mets would visibly butter churn
I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly batter verse

I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly sputter worse
I thought there was no way the Mets should possibly shutter
        hearse
I thought there was no way the Mets could possibly spatter words

-- Rupert M Loydell

Breakaway To Turnaround

The extended wells of a ridiculous e-mail war
said that extraterrestrials were accelerating evacuations
from hatches in the ocean off Nova Scotia, while

in a spit of shell-blue sky, not a robin had evacuated.
The nation's cloudless spokeswoman probably stretched
to stop leaders from launching the forecast

that someone suggested their presence provoked;
making those umbrella remarks that help no one, operators
likening it to rain sparked from an offshore hurricane.
